Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 56 The Competition Begins

After all the participating teams arrived in Wuhun City, they gathered at the Wuhun Hall the following day after a short rest.

The final match took place in the square in front of the Papal Palace, with a specially built arena beneath a huge statue of an angel.

At this moment, all the teams, including the Spirit Hall team, gathered in the square.

At this moment, Qian Xunji slowly walked out from the high platform.

"Greetings, Pope!"

"Greetings, Pope!"

"..."

Upon Qian Xunji's appearance, the Spirit Hall guards responsible for protecting the area were the first to kneel and pay their respects to him.

"Greetings, Pope!"

"Greetings, Pope!"

"..."

As the guards bowed, members of all the participating teams below also knelt down on one knee.

Of course, some of the people watching from the sidelines did not bow.

For example, Mu Ge and Qian Renxue, who were standing on a high platform at this moment, did not bow.

"That is..."

"The Tang brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, actually came! Tang Hao even brought the Blue Silver Emperor with him!"

Mu Ge looked at the several figures in the audience with a surprised expression.

He didn't expect that Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor would also be present at this year's Soul Master Competition.

"This Blue Silver Emperor is quite bold!"

"But since she's already level 70, she doesn't need to worry about her identity being discovered!"

"So how exactly was the Blue Silver Emperor's identity exposed in the original story?"

"Does the aura of a soul beast become apparent during pregnancy, or only on the day of delivery? If it's only on the day of delivery, then as long as one is a little careful, it won't be detected. Does that mean it's during pregnancy?"

"Could it be... that the Blue Silver Emperor conceived Tang San during her time in Spirit City, causing her spirit beast aura to leak out and thus revealing her identity?"

Looking at the figure of the Blue Silver Emperor, Mu Ge couldn't help but speculate.

Seemingly because of Mu Ge's gaze, Tang Hao and Lan Yinhuang in the audience both looked up and saw Mu Ge and Qian Renxue.

Who are those two people?

"Why are you looking at us? Ah Yin, do you know them?"

Tang Hao couldn't help but mutter a questioning sound.

"I don't know it either!" Blue Silver Emperor shook his head, saying with absolute certainty.

"That's because you're so beautiful, A-Yin, I couldn't help but look at you more!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao chuckled and didn't take it to heart, after all, he had experienced this kind of thing many times before.

Not only did they not see anything wrong with it, they even started to show off.

This left Tang Xiao speechless, and of course, also very jealous.

He had his eye on Blue Silver Emperor back then, but unfortunately, Blue Silver Emperor was in love with his younger brother Tang Hao, so he could only offer his blessings.

"..."

Hearing Tang Hao's praise, Lan Yinhuang's pretty face blushed slightly. She wanted to refute him but didn't want to, so she simply rolled her eyes at Tang Hao and turned her gaze to the square.

However, what they didn't know was that even Qian Xunji on the high platform glanced at the Blue Silver Emperor a few more times.

"It was that gentle woman; she really did end up with Tang Hao after all..."

Qian Xunji was slightly displeased to see Lan Yinhuang and Tang Hao being so intimate.

It turns out that he was also present when Tang Hao encountered the Blue Silver Emperor a few years ago. (Have you forgotten the original novel? Qian Xunji was indeed present when the Blue Silver Emperor appeared in the anime!)

He happened to be passing by and saw the Blue Silver Emperor. He was amazed that there could be such a gentle and graceful woman in the world.

He was tempted at the time, but Tang Hao and Tang Xiao made contact with the Blue Silver Emperor first, and he didn't want to have a conflict with the Clear Sky Sect, so he gave up.

Of course, it was also because Qian Renxue had already been born by then. If he had brought the Blue Silver Emperor back, he wouldn't have known what to do with her, so he simply gave up.

However, seeing the woman he once had a crush on now actually together with Tang Hao still makes him feel uneasy.

"...We hope everyone will perform well and strive for final victory. The Spirit Hall has prepared generous prizes for you!"

"I hereby declare the Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament open!"

Suppressing his displeasure, Qian Xunji watched as the 33 teams finished speaking and then announced the official start of this year's finals.

As Qian Xunji stepped back, the Spirit Hall host, who was presiding over the final, immediately stepped forward to take over.

"Although you may already know this, I'll say it again here!"

"The final will be a knockout tournament. Each team will draw lots to determine their opponent. The winners will advance to the next round, while the losers will be eliminated!"

"Since there are 33 teams in total, one team will receive a bye and advance directly to the next round!"

Teams that receive a bye will not be eligible for a bye in the next round of the draw!

"The competition will primarily be team-based. Only when three teams are left will a combination of team and individual battles be used to determine the two teams that will advance to the finals!"

"No deaths are allowed during the competition; otherwise, the participant will be disqualified!"

"We also cannot use any food or medicine made by non-food type Soul Masters or non-support type Soul Masters. The same goes for weapons; we cannot use anything unrelated to our Martial Soul. We must ensure absolute fairness and impartiality!"

"Now, each team, please send a representative to draw lots!"

After the host quickly and concisely explained the rules of the competition, he didn't waste any more words and immediately asked each team to send someone up to draw lots.

All the participating teams seemed impatient to start the competition.

After the host finished speaking, representatives from all sides went up to draw lots.

"I am number 1..."

"We are number 15..."

"Haha, we got a bye..."

"..."

After the teams finished drawing lots, the results came out quickly.

"Now, please invite the two teams that drew number 1 to enter the arena. The other teams, please leave for now!"

After the results were announced, the host made the announcement very directly, without any beating around the bush or exaggerating how strong the two teams were or how exciting the match would be.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

"Teacher, who do you think will win?"

Qian Renxue, standing next to Muge, couldn't help but get excited when she saw that the competition was finally about to begin.

"Blue Tyrant Academy Team!"

Mu Ge looked at one of the teams and smiled slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Ge's gaze shifted from the team to a woman in the audience.

"Tsk tsk, I hadn't even noticed, Liu Erlong is here too!"

"So Liu Erlong had already founded Blue Tyrant Academy by this time, and it's a high-level academy at that! Not only does it qualify for the competition, but the Blue Tyrant team even made it to the finals!"
